MacBook Air, please love me...

Okay all you MacBook Air haters.  It really is simple, you just don't get it.

Here is the deal, i use my laptop all the time.  I don't even like being away from it.  it is my ONLY computer.  I would trade it in right now for a MacBook Air AND not just because it looks amazing.

It really does fit what I need from a laptop.

First lets get rid of the lame problems people are having with it.
1.  No optical drive:  I rarly use mine, almost all the video i watch is streamed of downloaded, and when i do watch a DVD, i am at home, so a detached optical drive works great for me.

2.  No ethernet port: I can't remember the last time i used the ethernet port on my MacBook.

3.  No user replacable battery:  Just not needed, never have had a second battery, never will.

4.  Small harddrive:  I use a 60GB right now and it is fine.

So as you see the MacBook Air is great for me (notice i said me, it might not work for you, but for me it does).

Now i won't be getting one for the following reasons
1.  My current computer is just fine.
2.  I don't have THAT much money to play with
3.  Everyone knows the next generation will be better, and hopefully a little cheaper.

I hope that enough people like it so Apple keeps developing it.  It really should be a amazing product in just a few years, when i think people will see that the choices they made were good ones.
